Hello all,
I have been a member of the archive for some time, but never got to reading the forum. I really shouldn't, too... *sees grades dropping*
I am twenty years old, as of this academical year a physics student, which is awfully hard and really great.
My native language is Dutch, which is why I have deleted everything I've written. The grammar was awful and I think my vocabulary is not good enough.
Outside Tolkien, I like salads without dressing, programming, Italian food, cats and music.
If you want to know anything about being Dutch or almost as tall as Galadriel, pm me

 That is a fabulous introduction, Lenale, welcome!
And, oh, get on in their with your writing. There are lots of willing beta types around here and several non-native english speakers. Believe me, we appreciate the effort and your interest more than perfect grammar and a dazzling vocabulary.
Personally, I find it absolutely mystifying that you haven't been reading the forum ... I guess I just spend too much time in here - e.g. It's noon on Thanksgiving day and am I downstairs, basting, polishing, chopping or ironing? Nooooo! I'm right here typing away. But not for much longer.
But after that wonderfully unique intro (Tolkien and salads ) I had to take a moment to say "welcome."

Heh, thank you.
Maybe I will post something... Someday. Best bet is during the summer, because I only have two weeks of christmas-break (of which I will spend about 21 days singing in various places) and end-terms straight after that.

Welcome! I wish I could remember a Dutch greeting. A friend taught me some Dutch a LONG time ago. I have been obsessed with the Dutch since I saw Goldmember. That was a joke ... a bad one ... sorry.
Here's a tip, Lenale, stay away from ProbablyTruble. She's a bad influence. She gets me off topic all the time.  Don't be afraid to post your stories! There are a lot English as a Second Language fics here. I know a few Betas who can handle the translation errors. Just say that you're Dutch for everyone's sanity.

Ditto on all the comments. WElcome! Those of us who live in countries where they don't teach us anything but our native language (that'd be USA) truly envy those of you who can communicate in more than one language. PLEASE don't let that stop you from writing. I have read a few stories by non native English speakers and the few grammatical errors are so overwhelmed by wonderful stories they really aren't an issue - especially if you take advantage of the wonderful volunteer betas!
welcome to the mad house!!!

Thank you for all the nice comments
I live in Holland, small, flat, and a bit excited at the moment, which even made international news, or so I hear. I like it here very much, although I might move to another country someday, just to see how things are in the other parts of the world.
Well... Nope, don't have anything else to say at the moment.
Except my dad is hanging from the doorframe to stretch his back, or something... it looks very weird.
I just hope I got the other half of the genes
